Lives and works in North America and Hong Kong
Lam Tung Pang is a Hong Kong artist who divides his time between London and Hong Kong. Lam’s works are mostly related to specific situations collective memory and social contents. He uses both traditional (oil, acrylic, charcoal, pencil) and non-traditional (nails, sand, plywood) materials to produce his pieces and explores the relationship between objects and materials.
Lam Tung Pang’s works are based on his observations of his surroundings. His various collections, whether re-imagining the living environment of the population or as a metaphor for his own environment or as an exploration of the ultimate urban existence, all demonstrate Lam’s endless search for the ideal way to live. Lam expresses his observation and concerns in his works regarding environment, life and culture.
Lam Tung Pang has exhibited worldwide and has worked in both private and public collections, including Deutsche Bank, Hong Kong Museum of Art and work commissioned by the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.
